What are the responsibilities and job description for the Traveling Material Handling Maintenance Specialist position at Good Labor Jobs?

Traveling Material Handling Maintenance Specialist

Full-time travel role — no relocation required. We cover transportation from your hometown to each project site (and back) and provide lodging while you’re on assignment.

A day in this role

You’ll join the Operations Maintenance team and move from site to site keeping high-throughput facilities running. One week you might be installing components on an automated packaging line; the next, you’re fine-tuning a conveyor system to eliminate a bottleneck. You’ll switch seamlessly between electrical and mechanical work, all while documenting your process and keeping safety front and center.

What you’ll do
  • Champion a safe workplace by adhering to all safety procedures.
  • Perform scheduled preventative maintenance and record it accurately.
  • Diagnose and repair issues on Material Handling Equipment (MHE), including belts, motors, photo-eyes, relays, and related components.
  • Install, maintain, and repair automated packaging and distribution equipment and supporting building systems.
  • Collaborate effectively with teams across the Operations facility and maintain strong working relationships.
  • Track, store, and manage parts and department inventory.
  • Meet physical demands: lift up to 49 lbs and remain on your feet (standing/walking) for shifts up to 12 hours, with or without reasonable accommodation.
  • Travel frequently — expect a minimum of 80% travel.
Your background
  • Proficiency across core maintenance competencies necessary to perform the responsibilities listed above.
  • 2 years working with automated conveyor systems and controls.
  • 2 years repairing material handling equipment.
  • 2 years executing predictive and preventative maintenance.
  • 1 years reading blueprints and electrical schematics.
  • At least 1 year applying electrical/electronic principles and troubleshooting basic I/O functions.
  • Experience following OEM and recognized safety standards for MHE.
  • Project management exposure (planning, coordinating, and delivering work).
  • Hands-on use of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
  • Experience with robotic or electromechanical equipment operation and maintenance.
